Breaking It DownEverything We Know About ‘The Kissing Booth’ Sequel So Far

Valentine’s Day was a rough day for many people this year — and not just the single ones. Why? Because Netflix officially confirmed that The Kissing Boothwill be getting a sequel, so naturally, we all freaked out. That said, fans still have a lot of unanswered questions. For example, will the cast be returning for the second movie? When will it be released? Will Elle and Noah‘s relationship continue to thrive while he’s away at college?

Inevitably, there are some things we just won’t know until the movie hits the streaming platform, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few details you should know about right away. Like you, we can’t wait to watch Noah and Elle’s story continue to unfold — oh yeah, and Lee’s too. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of everything we know about the flick so far. It never hurts to be prepared!

Joey King and Joel Courtney are really, really excited.

OK, so this isn’t a huge secret or anything, but Joey and Joel are both really, really stoked for the sequel. Need proof? Just watch them dance around like goofballs while chanting “number two!” in the official Netflix teaser.

The original director will be back for the sequel.

If you’re just as obsessed with the first movie as we are, we have great news! The original director, Vince Marcello, will be back to direct the sequel. It’s so good to know the second movie is in good hands!

All of your favorite cast members will be back too!

Concerned that some of your favorite cast members wouldn’t make it back for the sequel? Well, worry not, friends! Before a second movie was ever confirmed, Joey revealed to TV Guidethat the cast would be so down for another flick.

“[The cast] would love for that to happen, but everything is still up in the air,” she told the outlet at the time.

Now, however, we know for sure that Joey and Joel will be in the movie. And before you freak out, Jacob Elordi will be in it too, despite his character recently leaving for college.

But wait, there’s more. Remember Lee’s girlfriend Rachel? Well, she’ll be back too. Meganne Young, the actress behind the character, shared a photo of the sequel’s script on her Instagram Stories.

Joey wants Elle and Noah to stay together, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

We don’t know about you, but we would be absolutely devastated if Elle and Noah were to break up in the sequel. Turns out, Joey feels the exact same way. Unfortunately, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not going to happen. After all, there needs to be some drama.

The actress once told Seventeen, “If there was a sequel, my prediction would be hopefully Elle and Noah stay together. Elle goes to visit Noah at college. Of course, there has to be some crazy things that get out of hand, but I don’t know. I really hope that a lot of the original characters, if there was a sequel, like the OMG Girls and Tuppen and all those amazing characters would definitely be in it.”

Unlike the movie, the book might not get a sequel.

OG fans of The Kissing Booth know that the story was first written and shared by Beth Reekles on the fan faction site Wattpad. Later, her story was made into a real book. However, fans should know that just because the first movie was the product of a book, the second movie might not go along with a book at all.

The author told International Business Times, “I think there could be a second movie without me having a second book. But, at the minute, I’m just kind of crossing my fingers and hoping that someone decides that there will be one, because it did pretty well as a movie.”

The release date hasn’t been announced… yet.

We know, we know — you’re dying to know when the movie will come out. Trust us, we want to know too. Sadly, Netflix didn’t divulge that info, so we’re going to have to wait and find comfort in the fact that, even though it doesn’t have a release date, it is coming.
